Mix Pix

[Nightprowler]

This is AtticaFish speaking..............the skies look clear this evening and we don't expect much turbulence. Please keep all electronic devices powered down until we hit cruising altitude. No delays are expected today. Enjoy the ride......


Copied/created this additional thread 'cause i went looking for a mix and had to dig through lots of chit-chat to find it. Going to keep this one closed to the 'public' posts and will copy the posts as they are made to the original Paint Recipe Book thread. So go ahead and keep posting there and i will put the pix here. :jig: Still a work in progress and think i have a way figured out of copying new pix posts to this one.


Thanks again for NightProwler getting this idea started. :icon14:

Tried to re-create the motor oil to give a little better formula...

Did two mixes to show what ratio's can do.Both of these are two of my favorite head colors..Both mixes are small batch but you can expand if you want larger quantities..

2 part=1/4 tsp

Motor Oil
2 part chart florescent
1 part orange
3 tsp clear
4 colors glitter,blue,yellow,holo chart,red

Opposite ratio
Punkin Seed
2 part orange
1 part flo chart
same clear and glitter

 

[CrappieHappy]

2-parts HF yellow
2-part HF Red
1-part clear
Sprinkled in some black to my liking and added some glitter


Feel free to +/- clear to your liking....

This was baked at regular temp, I have had no issues with baking the glitter.

......also lost my Floro. Orange i made up........



Chartrueseink:Clear - mixed 1:1:1
Using Janns Netcraft paint which i believe is the same as Pro-Tech.

Make a super bright orange color.

Don't really think the clear is needed in this but have been using pretty small (1/8 tsp) units to mix and a little clear helps make a bigger mix. Adding more clear might let the lead color show through and change the overall color.

 

[CrappieHappy]

Added a pic of a roundhead i just painted to show the color a little better


Rust (browninsh color)

5 parts HF Red
Gold Glitter
4 parts HF Black

Moving again n cldnt pack this up without experiment. This'n is a close match to Heaths'. Kinda.
Only reason i didn't just throw it in a container is bc of his post of his mix.
Dunno any ratios bc it was a bunk'd mix that clumped from way earlier that resembled his base coloring. Just added bunches of clear n red n gold glitter and its on. Plan on making some craw colors with it.

It seems we like to make up alot of varations of red.... maybe there is some un-spoken truth in that???

Here is another red mix that i use alot both for completely red jigheads and also use it for gill or nose area. The red glitter in the mix is one of the things that makes this one pop and there are 2 different sizes of silver holo glitter from the pre-mix and the craft glitter. Is a 'candy' type of color so will let the base show through some. Looks great on shiny heads and blades........

Candy Flame Spark:
1.0 - Flame Red
3.0 - Clear/Silver Holo glitter pre-mix
3.0 - Clear/Red glitter pre-mix
0.5 - Silver Holo. straight craft glitter

Here's a color I call peaches. The recipe is leave your paints out and go downstairs to make supper, if your 4 year old daughter isn't making noise for more than 10 minutes its working! If your lucky when you go back up at least 50% is in a container of some kind! Enjoy your new color and be glad that someday they might be interested in doing it with ya.

 

[Jighead76]

On a more serious note. Here's a pea green.
1 part white, 1 part yellow, 1 part pearl and 3 parts John Deere green or similar.

 

[AtticaFish]

BB Green Glitz
2 - Baby Bass Green (ProTech)
1 - Pearl (ProTech)
10 - Clear (Orbit)
5 - Clear/Gold Holo. Glitter (ProTech)
5 - Clear/Chart. Glitter (ProTech)
4 - Green Craft Glitter (Horizon Basic Elements XtraFine)

This color has an overall ratio of 3:20 (color:clear) so whatever color is under as a base coat shows through. Looks best on bright/shiny alloy jigs (or plated) or tapped on top of a pearl or other bright colored base. The green craft glitter i used is from Wal-Mart and a darkish hue, so there are 3 seperate colors of glitter in this mix.

Nothing spectacular, but organized many paint jars and thought I'd try to make a simple recipe.
